Can't wait to read what the next loss brings. The sky is falling.

Re: SIX Straight Finals Appearances Is A Major Accomplishment
It's impressive but as mentioned, this streak clearly requires context.
*He's ALWAYS had the best team in the east.
*Aside from the Bulls, Celtics and Pacers who the hell has he really beaten of significance? - arguably tier 2 teams in the west
So while it is impressive, it's nothing really all that mind shattering.

He's been the Western conferences stepping stone/punching bag for years and will continue to be for the next decade. Definitely his biggest accomplishment though

No, it isn't. Not in this case. Not with that colluding.
And people like you are only trying to convince yourselves because not even you believe a colluded/stacked roster winning that shit conference is an achievement.

When the "how many 50 win teams ______has beaten" graph gets posted, it has Magic down I believe with 13.
Dude played in 9 Finals and only beat 13...50+ win teams? Which obvious includes the 5 Finals teams they beat.
That' s pretty bad

Never once heard anyone praising Magic for making NBA finals and calling it a major accomplishment, not once.

The East has been weak while the West has been brutal. Look at LAC/SAS in the first round last year. How many Finals would Lebron make if he were in the West?

But LeBron gets criticized for his so-called easy path when Magic, Kareem and Riley had it much easier.
They got first rounds byes until 1984 and then when changed.... it was the best of 5 series. Less games = much less chance of injury.

It's irrelevant how he got there. History will just remember that he did, and that no other player in recent memory has done the same thing, especially on two different teams.

Six straight in the West would have been much more impressive.
